Bitter sweet...

Yesterday my oldest nephew Kendall left on

his mission. He is going to be serving in the

Philippines. He is like a little brother to me

and I am going to miss this kid!!! It seems like

not very long ago I was saying goodbye to Jason

when he was leaving on his mission. I remember

Kendall (7 years old at the time) saying

goodbye to Jason. It was pretty emotional then too

and here we are now, tables turned. He will make

a great missionary. I hate goodbyes but I am so

proud of him.

Sippy Cup

A few weeks ago Brynlee decided she is a
"big girl." (No she is not potty trained yet
...dang it!) She LOVED her sippy cup but
she had to have her burp rag with it. (She used
it as a small blanket...it was pretty cute.) Bryn
was in heaven when she had the two but she couldn't
have one without the other. So we did away with
both. It was her idea. She went to the garbage
and threw her sippy cup away. Now if she would
just decided to loose the diapers before this next
little girl gets here that would be great!!!

Lava Hot Springs

So this year my family went out on a limb and
went to Lava Hot Springs. My sister-in-law has
been there with her family so we decided to try it.
I didn't get many pictures but we had some good
family time together. This is the last vacation we
will all be together because 3 of my nephews leave
on missions this year.
The kids did a lot of swimming in the hot springs
and there was a really fun pool just a couple of blocks
away. We had a nice game of Hangman the first night
while it was raining. A lot of good memories were made.
We were only gone for two nights. The Cloward side
is now up to 38 people so it is hard to go on vacation
for too long and it can't be too far away. Good Times!

We are having a....

Boy or Girl?????

Boy or Girl....any guesses? We find out Thursday!!!

Love the month of July!!

Haley and Brynlee before church on Haleys
birthday.

Haley turns 7!

Since Haley was born the day before the 4th of
July it is a busy week with all the festivities and
celebrating her birthday. This is Kelsee, Brynlee
and Haley going down the huge slide at "Jump n
Jacks." They couldn't get enough of it.
(Also went to "Boondocks" but forgot to take
pictures.)

Haley wanted to go to Brick Oven for her Birthday
dinner. (yummy....so I thought until I went there
for lunch again yesterday and ended up throwing
up later that night. Don't think I can eat pizza there again!)

All Haley wanted for her birthday was an electric
scooter...hot pick of course.

Haley was also lucky enough to go to Stadium of
Fire again this year thanks to Grandpa Ross.
She went decided to take Jason this year since
I went with her last year.

Had family over for cake and ice cream. Can't
believe Haley is 7!!! Love her to death.
